Kevin Hunt.  The fastest Cameraman in the NMBS !

Kevin joined the NMBS in 2004 and his first jaunt was the Normandy D-Day celebrations for the 60th Anniversary. 
 

Kevin interest in Battlefields began as a child when watching war films with his mates Ricko's Dad (David Richardson).  His interests include building his own website based on NMBS and the actress Genevieve Bujold.  He also supports the Non-league football team FC United of Manchester.  Kevin's love of FCUM has seen him help out on the turnstiles, in the development office, fund-raising and he even writes for the FCUM Fanzine "Under the Boardwalk".

Kevin does like his tanks !

Ardennes 2008

The trip to Arnhem was a touching one for Kevin as he found and laid flowers at the grave of his Grandmothers first husband, Tommy Stubbs.  Tommy and Kev's Nana (Rose Keegan) were married in Newton Heath in Manchester on April 24th 1944.  Less than a year later Tommy died as part of the allies push into Germany (Operation Varsity) Tommy died on 24th March 1945 - 11 months after his wedding, and 6 weeks before the end of the war.  Tommy was buried in Reichswald Cemetery, not far from the Dutch German border.   For more information on this, go to the "Links page" and see Kevin's website for his own personal account.

Ypres 2007

Kevin has provided the NMBS with music on our trips - and is the NMBS DJ - much to Stu's disgust at 2am one morning during The Ypres trip.
